Three young girls of about 16. whose
gowns show quiet good taste. and
whose faces tell of pleasant tempers and
nlmble minds, are in parlor together.

vo &c Is sweet and unaffected. She
stops now and then, while the three
scuss the book or their work with
much joking and laughter.
They are cleve'. but te2der and won,-
anly. They are totally unconscious of
themselves; their tones are low and
sincere; there can be no doubt YOU are
in the company of gentlewomen.
Suddenly, presto! all is changed. A
caller is announced. One of the Young
ladies' herself. p.nches in her lips, and
speaks In mincing monos llables. An
other gurgles and giggIes, blushes. and
tosses her chin upward; she lisps her
answers with. IA absurd sweetness of
VOC and glance.
The third suddenly becomes a very

One OF her companions at this puts
on an air of offended propriety and
shakes her head with stern reproha-
ton. The other giggles and drops her
head on her breast aifectedly.
What can have changed these 'm3lc,
pleasant girls into puppets? Can it be

Free Dispensaries in New York.

In 1873 there were four or five dispensaries
in the poorer districts on the west side OF the
city. Out Of the whole population then only
about 25,0o0 were treated annually at these
institutions. 4 patient, IL sick, went 10 a
doctor and paid him II he could. II not, there
were plenty who would treat him for nothing
when the circumstances were explained
In 1856, on the other hand, nearly $1,000
persons were treated gratis at the dispen-
saries. Instead of one large Institution there
are now three, all doing active work and
fourth will be established this fall when the
College OF Physicians and Surgeons opens in
its new building.
Physicians praeticlng on ,the west side
observe that the people are getting educated
up to the dispensaries and now get their
medical service free AS often as poss bic. In
the past ten years sn immense number Of
people have moved TO the west side The
majority arc not OF the poorer tenement house
class, but ought to be able to pay the doctor.

The Lesson Experience Teaches

With the continued dry weather dur

good honey crop for this year. rapidly
slipped away. Although the bees NAV

tile principles. and everything NAV

however. that if We do our part ia th-
fully, and we do not reap the success
we had anticipated, we need not worry
about it. but should lay it to causes
over which we have no control.
Is there not lesson to be learned in
the present season of drOuth and fail
ure of the white clover? In times past,
when but few colonies we're kept. it
did not make so much difference-usu-
ally the bees took care of themselves,
and generally managed to get enough

ever, when many men, and women too.
make this single branch of agriculture
their exclusive business, aud often
keep many hundred colonies. it be-
comes a serious matter. The bees
cannot gather honey if there are no
flowers. or they fail to sccrete nectar
They cannot produce something out of
nothing. Unless they are helped by
feeding to carry them over the succeed
ing winter. they must perish. Now
the question is, cannot the bee keeper
guard against an occasional failure OF
single crop like white clover? Must
Bookkeeping always remain the hap
hazard business that it has been in the
past? When times are prosperous bee
keepers are jolly. some even seem to
feel so good that they almost give
away their honey, and when there is a
failure they are cOrrespondingly blue
and discouraged.
It seems to me that if it paws to keep
bees at all, it will pay to k -ep them
well, and if nature does not produce an
abundance of honey producing flowers
we should by all means in our power.
increase the bloom. This leads to plant
ing for honey, and unless tn is done.
oee-6eeping must ever remain a rather
hazardous business, when followed ex-
clasively for living.
In looking tor plant for this pur-
pose. it is good idea TO select that
which is useful for other purposes as
vel. Aisike clover stands at the
head of these, but as it blooms ut the
same time rs white clover, and may
occasionally fall. it is not well to de-
pend on that alone. L have tried all
the honey-plants that have been recon-
mended in late years; and have vet to
find one equal to melilot or sweet clo-
yer. 1t seems to be both winter and

blossoms begin to fail, and the quality

preciated next, even should honey then
